Role
Who you are
- We need a Senior Engineer who doesn't just "use" tools, but understands the underlying mechanics of distributed state, clock synchronization, and data consistency
- If you have built user-facing analytic products or handled massive streaming workloads, we want to talk
- Large-Scale Streaming: Experience managing high-cardinality data streams using Kafka, Flink, Spark, or Azure Event Hubs
- Analytic Product Engineering: You’ve built systems that power real-time dashboards, complex aggregations, or OLAP workloads
- Data Reliability: You know how to handle "exactly-once" delivery semantics and backpressure in a distributed environment
- Have a strong sense of ownership and accountability. You don’t wait to be told or until things are clearly defined. You exemplify resourcefulness, and a bias for action
- Are driven by curiosity about how things work, and how to make them better. While you’re an expert, you’re humble and open to feedback
- Are a clear communicator, both async and in-person. You bring clarity from ambiguity
- Are a great collaborator, working cross-functionally, with engineers, PMs, and customers
- If you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
What the job involves
- We are building a platform that processes PetaBytes of Data
- While our primary language is Python, we value polyglot engineers who bring deep architectural patterns from Go, Java, or Rust
- Architect for Scale: Lead the design of our next-generation streaming and analytics backbone on Azure
- Async Performance: Optimize asynchronous Python services to handle massive concurrent I/O
- Fullstack Delivery: Bridge the gap between heavy-duty backend data processing and the frontend, ensuring our analytic interfaces are as fast as the data pipelines behind them. Integrate the ML models into real time processing pipelines
- Distributed Systems: Have expert knowledge of partitioning, replication, and consensus protocols
- Infrastructure: Show deep experience with Azure
- Language Agnostic: Be an expert in at least one major backend language; highly proficient (or ready to lead) in Python
